the soviet union (the greatest evil ever) fell because estonians joined hands. how can this fail against trumpler, who is not as bad as the soviet union?

this is an ancient rewarmed take, it was used to explain away the high approval rating of communist governments in the warsaw pact countries. by liberals living in those very countries.

but yeah, russia didnt have US style chattel slavery partly because they had serfs and the way that worked in tzarist russia, it was slavery with extra steps. so they didnt need it. IIRC one of the tzars ended it officially, but i expect it continued informally for quite a while. probably until lenin.

AAAAAAAAA

as bad as tzarist russia was, this was true even then. tzarist russia didnt have racialized chattel slavery AFAIK, and their conquest of the far east was much less destructive to the indigenous people living there. destructive, but not armageddon twice and another helping on sunday destructive.

the US is a champion at this, is what i'm saying, in the league of the big european colonial powers, while everyone else is just trying to get into the premier league.

ahhhhh, siberiada my beloved
